The ability to pan COM1 to the left ear and COM2 to the right ear. ATC in center-left and ATIS in center-right is much easier for the brain to parse out as distinct information signals. We do it every day in conversation with a group.
I demo'ed this at OSH this year and it worked great. I did not get to the Garmin booth to try theirs.
The new PMA450 can pan multiple sources across stereo left-right and those settings can be changed from the front panel (no messing config modality). That's why I'm looking seriously at the PMA450 vs. the similarly priced GMA350 which has 3D but is a Garmin product which means who knows what proprietary nonsense they might have put into it.
